Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts shredded or diced
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8-10 flour or corn tortillas warmed
- 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 15 oz chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 oz green chiles diced
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and onion and cook until the onion is tender and the chicken is heated through.
- Divide chicken between tortillas, sprinkle with cheese, roll each tortilla tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13 dish.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and cook until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream and green chiles until smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are hot and bubbly. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Rotisserie Chicken: My favorite shortcut for getting dinner on the table even faster.
- Tortilla Tip: Flour tortillas stay soft and hold together well, while warmed corn tortillas are a great traditional option.
- Sauce Tip: Remove the sauce from the heat before stirring in the sour cream to keep it smooth and creamy.
- Make Ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Freezer Friendly: Freeze before or after baking for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Rest Before Serving: Let the enchiladas rest for about 5 minutes after baking so the sauce can thicken slightly.
